It's a very cool/fun project and definitely not a cat video. I do believe that it's relatively "shallowly interesting" and I haven't read any comments yet that would indicate to me otherwise.

cflyingdutchman··on Ask YC: Taxing Founder Income
Thanks! If I got it right, the summary is: Money going towards the founders' living expenses is salary and taxed accordingly; the taxes paid can be small or negligible depending on the founders' incomes earlier in the year.
